Before my kids could even walk, they were splashing around in a swimming pool.

We are ALL water babies in this family and LOOOOVE to be outside swimming.

If we lived close to a beach, we would be there every, single week! No doubt.

We were ecstatic to move into a new house with our very own swimming pool last year! I could not keep my kids out of it!

And if you are familiar with our little fam, then you have probably noticed that our skin turns about 10 shades darker during the summer months (thanks to Mom's Cherokee heritage). This picture is from last year's birthday party in August. Our 4 kiddos are the dark brown babies in the back.

It doesn't matter that I drown these kids in SPF 50... it's just the way it is. Not to mention that days upon days in the pool water and sun can cause their delicate skin to become rough, dry and itchy.

Their skin would be so dry and ashy that the pediatrician would comment on it at every yearly appointment. So, I decided to find the best lotion possible for my babies.

Curél® Itch Defense® Lotion works wonders on our skin. Immediately after applying, my skin feels refreshed and rehydrated without being too oily (that is a HUGE turn off for me when using a lotion). My children get lathered up after every shower and their skin stays soft, smooth, and moist for at least 24 hours.

3.The formula is safe and gentle enough for babies and children six months and up

4.The formula is available at drugstores nationwide

5.It’s fragrance-free, dermatologist, allergist and pediatrician tested, and has received the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance

In other words, this product is legit.

So, if you are looking for a way to feel better about your skin (and the skin of your little ones) try Curél® Itch Defense® Lotion. It will protect and relieve dry/itchy skin so that you can enjoy those fun summer activities.

I have very dry skin. My legs look like a road map so cracked and dry. I have found baby oil gel applied to wet skin is the answer. I also use lotion as needed but the baby oil gel is wonderful!! I would to try the Curel.

I've been using Curel for a very long time, but just started using the Itch Defense lotion since November to combat winter dry skin. Curel Foot Therapy is what I use in the summer when my heels get dry from wearing flip-flops or walking barefoot. Great stuff!

My MIL was a believer in Curel - so it has just come naturally....never have thought of using anything else. Don't get me wrong, I use other lotions, but not for the "dry itchy" spells, so we just always have it on hand!

My children have very sensitive skin as well and suffer from eczema regularly. In the dryer weather I up the moisturizer, using heavy ointment type options as well as using as natural of products as possible. This helps to prevents further irritation.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!! Nonstop lotioning, I can almost hear the voice from Silence of the Lambs "It rubs the lotion on its skin!" I also exfoliate on a regular basis, but up it from once a week to twice a week during the Summer.
